In one of the other forums, a thread was started to see how many black folk were cosplaying or on the this site, so me being from a Korean mother and American (german ancestry) father, and born in Pusan, Korea, (my father was a marine, so you kinda get the idea...) but raised in the US since I was 1.5 yrs old. I used to have dual citizenship when I was younger, now just a US citizen...but definitely look predominantly korean/asian, even with a white father...

yea, i'm representin the SoKo's on this board as well!
Born to two South Korean parents in Seoul, SoKo
I was adopted at about 7 months age, currently live in the Chicago suburbs.
Love bein one of few asians, much less Koreans around, i def stand out in my area lol

korean-american here. parents born in korea, they moved to the US about 30 years ago, so i was born in the states and am completely a us citizen. i also speak barely enough korean to tell my grandmother to please get the telephone. o.o

Hello fellow KPride people!
For those of us out there, do you make it back to Korea very often?
Any experiences you would like to share on cosplay & anime related events / culture in Korea? the whole point of me starting this thread was to first, find out who the korean folk were on this site, and second discuss cosplay/anime related things pertaining to korea & koreans in particular amongst the "korean perspectives".....if that makes sense?

I am going to Seoul either this fall 06 or spring 07 (looking like next spring 07)....my friends who live there now tell me anime and cosplay is popular, but at different stages in life and in a slightly different manner, than either the US or Japan...i would like to catch a korean convention next year though...

btw- since this is the korean cosplay forum, are we supposed to write in korean? romanized korean???
